Additional Information:
In My opinion gnorpm should not automatically update from the metadata server
(ie: http://www.redhat.com/RDF ). It should pop up with a window saying that
there may be an updated list available, would you like to check and update your
list? .... Or something of that nature.
If you have a bad connection to the internet or the Metaserver is down for some
reason the application will just hang.....
Also I have experienced this on other PC's that have a network card in them but
strictly hook up to the internet via a modem. In these instances gnorpm will
assume it can download because of there being an internal address even though
there is no internet connection present.
Just yesterday I was showing a friend gnorpm and the extra setting you can use
when this happened.... This didn't make things look good.... hehe.
